Declaration
film director
“Isabelle also knows that, if she wants to find true love, she’s going to end up in tears from time to time. I’m fed up with film characters who are invariably heroic; one can’t always be that way and Isabelle no longer endeavors to be that way. Isabelle is a woman who sees the widening disparity between what she is looking for in men, and what she can find. This gap is only growing wider over the course of her different encounters, her ‘fragments.’ But she’s not a feminine version of Don Juan: a depressive seductress, prey to an addiction that is slowing killing her. She’s more of a Casanova and a hedonist, but because she’s a woman, it had better remain hidden.”
